Audio

Rumor: Disney in Talks With Bungie and DICE, as Search Is on for Development Partner for Star Wars Battlefront 3

It's been almost 10 years since Star Wars Battlefront 2 was released on consoles and PC, but could we be getting another entry in the franchise in the future? The latest from the rumor mill points to that, and it could be from a familiar studio too, which could mean good news for some, bad news for those who want someone new to take the reins.

ARC

• Fixed an issue where certain ARC could be more accurate than intended against sliding players; their aim now correctly accounts for sliding targets.
• Fixed an issue where the Hydra’s weapons wouldn’t spread to different targets as often as intended. We’ve increased the base damage to compensate for this corrected targeting behavior, ensuring its overall threat level remains competitive. We’ve also addressed an issue where it struggled to hit close-range targets.
• ARC will now react to Gondola Transceivers being interacted with.

Gameplay

Frigate

• Fixed an issue where players could be ejected from the cargo while it was falling from the Frigate.
• Fixed an issue where you could be instantly knocked out when riding on the side of a Frigate cargo drop. Being crushed now only applies at the landing point, and riders inside.
• Fixed an issue where Raiders riding on a Frigate cargo drop could be burned during descent; thruster heat now only affects areas near landing.

Emperor

• Fixed an issue where moving platforms inside the Emperor could become out of sync, improving reliability when riding or crossing them.

Items

General

• Fixed an issue where Tether Launchers could not be repaired in-round.
• Fixed an issue where the Geometric Fabric Chair Design blueprint was not granted after consuming it.

Grappling Hook

• Improved the experience of rappeling to the ground with the Grappling Hook.
• Improved auto-vaulting from Grappling Hook, made the wall detection more reliable and work more consistent on steep slopes.
• Improved swing and rope-climb entry near the ground:
• • Climbing continues briefly when starting a climb from the ground.
  • Velocity toward the rope is preserved, so jumping from the ground carries into a climb.
  • Attaching to a rope on a steep slope now enters the wall-climb state.
  • Fixed unintended landing when climbing beneath an overhead rope.

Maps

General

• Increased the spawn consistency of ARC Turbines in Buried City, Riven Tides, Blue Gate and Spaceport; in sessions where they previously only had a chance of spawning, they should now instead spawn in an overwhelming majority of, if not all, sessions.
• Fixed visual culling on Frigate lighting scenarios in Buried City, Spaceport, Blue Gate, and Adjusted map boundaries near the Emperor to prevent players from clipping out of bounds.
• Fixed some issues with the coverage of the compaction killboxes inside the Emperor.

Pendola Pass

• Fixed a collision issue that could cause players to get stuck inside the Fallen Emperor.
• Increased the enemy presence slightly.
• Improved lighting and reflections to enhance visual clarity across multiple weather scenarios.
• Fixed an issue with a Ballistic Gondola navigating through the Secure Communications Mast.
• Fixed floating objects, vegetation and snow clipping through walls.
• Fixed multiple locations where players could get stuck or fall through the terrain.

Dam Battlegrounds

• Removed ARC Turbine spawns from standard sessions and most minor map conditions. In the remaining conditions, they should now spawn in an overwhelming majority of, if not all, sessions.

Stella Montis

• Improved lighting and reflections to enhance visual clarity and consistency across time-of-day scenarios.

Lucasfilm Is "Exploring" Star Wars Games That Will "Surprise" Fans

While we've had Souls-like Star Wars games in Respawn's Jedi series, a strategy one courtesy of Bit Reactor in Star Wars: Zero Company, and even a new entry in the arcade racer genre in Star Wars: Galactic Racer, it seems we might be getting something fresh at some point in the future.

Movement

• Jumping off the wall during a Wall Run now requires holding backward to activate to help avoid triggering it accidentally.
• Enabled interactions from wall climbing to allow transitioning into ladders and ziplines.

Performance

• Reduced memory usage from loot spawning systems to improve overall stability during rounds.
• Optimized the Frigate entry sequence.

Quest

• “To the Skies” can be completed on any map no matter where progress has been made, players only need to complete the installation in one location to complete the quest.
• “Belly of the Beast” optional objective now requires the correct item as described in the objective text.

Stability

• Reduced memory usage in Frigate interiors to address rare crashes when exploring the cargo hold.
• Improved stability in the Frigate by fixing a memory issue that could lead to crashes when moving through its interior.

UI

General

• Polished Main Menu lighting and reflections for improved visuals.
• Removed the Expedition Vault tab and related offer.

Quest

• Fixed an issue where focus could be lost when navigating the quest tracker with a gamepad.

Reward Pass

• Fixed an old Cred icon showing up in character customization for Reward Pass rewards.
• Feats rebalance: We’ve added new Feats, removed some existing ones, and rebalanced others to create a smoother experience and better progression through the Reward Pass.

Outpost

• Fixed an issue where the Workshop screen could appear broken if the basic workbench was placed in the last available Outpost slot.
• Your Raider is now hidden when inspecting or decorating furniture and when viewing a bench’s Generator screen, preventing the camera from being blocked.
• The camera rotation, in the Inspect/Decorate view, now requires holding the left mouse button; right mouse drags no longer adjust the camera pitch.
• Fixed an issue where the Inspect/Decorate camera could fade to black when orbiting near walls.

Skill Tree

• Node tooltips now show how many levels there are for a skill. Visible as long as the node has not been reached.
• Changed wording from ‘Add Skill Point’ to ‘Spend Point’ to minimize confusion.

Weapon Amplification

• Updated the Weapon Bench upgrade tab: the button for amplified weapons now reads “Amplify” instead of “Ascend”.

VFX

• Fixed a visual issue where the Aphelion’s beam effect could appear cut off.
• Improved explosion impact marks with higher-resolution visuals for clearer craters.
• Fixed an issue where the smoke from firing a weapon could disappear under certain circumstances

There are still a handful of known issues, so there should be another patch releasing soon-ish.

Stay tuned for our interview with Embark, whcih is also hitting the site soon.
